Reviews

"Excellent singing from the 44 boy and girl choristers, male altos, and men of the Wells Cathedral Choir. They perform the Wellensis Mass with proprietary flair ... The sound is so clear and present, it's hard to believe it was recorded in the broad expanses of a great church..."

Phillip Greenfield - American Record Guide - January/February 2017

"...all the performances on this CD are thoughtfully conceived and convincingly-executed, which make it one to be recommended in every respect."

Mark Sealey - classical.net - 2016

"... The main work on Matthew Owen's well-filled CD is the Missa Wellensis ... The Wells choir possesses a rich and developed tone, which Owens uses to the full in this wonderfully absorbing setting, Owens and his forces are equally fine in the remainder of the programme..." *****
